Early Access Review
This game may be the "Best" dinosaur game, but this is only due to lack of competition, the game mechanics are sometimes really fun but there are soo many flaws that this game is just not in an enjoyable state, yet for some reason I continue to play.

One of the main game mechanics is age, when you die you spawn as a baby that in comparison to adults, is incredibly weak and easy to kill, growing takes hours and one death can set you back 6 hours of progress. Then you get the joys of...

Fall damage

Massive fall damage causing instant death from small falls that really shouldn't be killing anything, as I am currently posting this the devs are making a update to add sliding down hills instead of making a fix to the raw damage, we must wait months for an update.

The Bugs

Every other patch I've seen deployed has completely broken the game, caused repeated crashes, not just on my machine but just randomly while playing getting people killed.
Server errors that after update killed all official servers repeatably crashing the servers over and over for days.
Completely breaking community servers
Being randomly unable to eat, drink or interact with anything
Being unable to eat food that is too close to other food (Really easy to do anytime you kill something)
Always saying servers are full
Random unable to join servers

We have a running joke in my server of, they have updated the game, time to find out if the game is playable today ;(

This game has been out for 10 years, and the devs clearly cannot move in one direction, every time they add a new feature, mechanic or dino they break something else and have to go back.

I am ok with the game in it's current state and do enjoy it's gameplay loop, however I would much prefer this game to have some real competition so I can play that instead :)
